There will be a "South Dakota Flush" event set up on the 5-Stand/Games area just for fun. You can run 1 to 6 shooters at a time. No scoring, no trophies, just fun!! If you want to try a gun before you buy it, you can try it there, without shooting a Flush. If you don't get enough shotgun fun it's your own fault!!

Thanks for the pictures Jent. Nice seeing you there. What a wonderful place to shoot. I look forward to next year's shoot. I think there will be more vendors there next year.
So many guns, so little time!

Jent, thanks for the photos, from what I have heard, the shooting was great, wish I could have been there, I will be next year. Glad Mike is posting his dates now so hopefully we will not have the conflict with dates as we did with the Vintagers this year.
